Book Shivta hotels

Service, cleanliness, food were highest level possible. Design is impeccable. Beautiful lighting and comfortable calm textiles music and smells everywhere. The clientele was extremely high and, no loud people hardly any smoking. There weren’t any open spaces to walk around or chill out- no hammocks, no open sky views aside from a rooftop lookout, where there was construction and a highway nearby. The spa was small and not well planned out - no water fountain. Hardly any lockers. Nowhere to sit. Very compact. Mold in the steam room, steamers were at the roof of the steam room, a major design flaw. Because heat rises, the steam room was not hot. Male and female saunas were separate and the male was broken the whole weekend. We got three treatments, one was very much a waste of time and money . The deep tissue massages with male therapists were worthwhile. Overall a great experience, but don’t go for the spa.

Very special place, hard to describe its natural beauty and uniquely charming atmosphere. Wonderful owners with great artistic tastes and accomplishments, love of nature, and appreciation of the majestic serenity of the surrounding desert, coupled with excellent and comfortable room and culinary amenities. The staff are full of smiles and smart guidance, service is prompt and efficient. Breakfast is sumptuous without excess, kitchen and eating areas accessible at all times, and there’s an honor system for self-help to fruits and snacks and pizza! But to really understand how special it is, go and enjoy. Oh, and when you’re there, please say hi to “D’vash,” a honey-colored (Hebrew speakers will understand) canine who kept us company on our terrace while we sipped morning coffee amid the serenity of the surrounding hills.
